Skirnir

Album: Heralding - The Fireblade Durasi: 4:34
[00:00.00]Long is one night, and long the second one;
[00:09.16]How can I... how can I wait through three?
[00:23.20]Once a month... a month seemed less to me
[00:32.29]Compared to this one night of waiting for her...
[00:46.86]As dear to no man in days past
[00:49.18]Was maid as she is to me:
[00:51.17]But no elf, no god, will grant my prayer
[00:53.82]That I may lie with her...
[00:55.52]Hail to thee, Veraldur!
[01:41.27]Long is one night, and long the second one;
[01:50.06]How can I... how can I wait through three?
[02:03.94]Once a month... a month seemed less to me
[02:12.96]Compared to this one night of waiting for her...
[02:27.01]Arise, Skirnir, now ride swiftly to Frey, my son,
[02:30.66]And ask him this:
[02:32.48]With whom is the Wise one so angry,
[02:34.66]So sad at hearth?
[02:36.25]Hail to thee, Veraldur!
[03:21.93]To stake life on the luck of the dice
[03:24.64]Is better than to be a coward:
[03:26.50]The day of my death is by fate,
[03:28.78]My time is fixed.
[03:30.34]Night has fallen:
[03:32.39]Now we must ride over the misty mountains,
[03:34.53]The fells of the troll-folk;
[03:36.38]We shall both arrive or both fall
[03:38.31]...into the hands of Gymir.
[03:40.16]Hail to thee, Veraldur
